Hi guys.... I have waited and waited for ages to see more data on the sdc2300 at the beach but aside one or two videos (old) there is really limited info on the SDC2300 and beach / water hunting. I like the look of the machine and if the 8 inch mono is like the ATX it should be great in the water. Wonder how stable it is? Has anyone on the ATX forum used the SDC? Our dealers here have limited detecting knowledge and really don't know a lot about the machines. Would be great to see any thoughts of forum members on the SDC. Interestingly - the SDC 2300 is cheaper in NZ than the USA!
